I guess I would go with murophobia. From "murus" which are the city walls.

"teichophobia" is better, since it combines two Greek elements. Best is "peratophobia", fear of borders

Sounds weird to me personally because "Teich" just means "pond" in my tounge, but it will suffice.

Teichophobia also sounds as if someone hates kids, so a superfluous knee in the crotch comes for free.
